BIG TIME ALY (4) ran below best last time finishing sixth (21.75) over 375m at Manawatu from Box 6. Key runner on her best form. STAR BOY EXPRESS (6) has a strong record here with three wins and three placings from seven starts. Recorded a 2-length win (17.64) in a Class 2 last time at this track. Looks like a key chance on best figures. GOLDSTAR DUFFY (3) is worth forgiving last start after finishing fourth (26.30) at Manawatu over 457m. Deserves plenty of respect. GOLDSTAR BUTTERS (2) deserves plenty of thought over this journey. Each way value.
